Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has updated many of its patient education brochures and created new brochures to address a range of topics relevant to people living Crohn’s and colitis. In addition to the core brochures that help patients and their families understand the dietary, medication, surgical and cancer implications of these diseases, we also have brochures to help patients navigate issues such as intimacy, fertility and ostomy care.

Our website is here to share information about Crohn’s and Colitis Canada events, programs and research opportunities. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER MEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL OR NUTRITIONAL ADVICE. Our mission is to cure Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improve the lives of children and adults living with these chronic diseases.
